Paper intake packets create friction for clients and extra work for you

Counselors typically have well-developed intake and assessment documents. The challenge is getting clients to complete them before the first session - especially when the process involves printing, signing, and scanning.

Doc2Form converts your existing PDFs and Word documents into Google Forms. Upload a file up to 5 MB and it detects the fields - text boxes, checkboxes, rating scales, multiple-choice - and builds a matching form in your Drive. You share a link, the client fills it out on any device, and responses collect in a linked spreadsheet.

No document ready? Describe mode works too: type a brief description and get a starting form to review and adjust.

Your data stays in your Google account

Every form Doc2Form creates is a standard Google Form. It lives in your personal Drive. Responses stay within your Google account - they're not stored by Doc2Form after the conversion.

You control who can respond, whether sign-in is required, and how responses are shared. Google Forms supports both open links and restricted access.

Common questions

Is client information secure?

Doc2Form uses Google OAuth for sign-in. Uploaded documents are processed to create the form and are not stored afterward. Responses go directly into your Google Drive under your account's settings.

Note: for clinical use, review your obligations under applicable privacy regulations before using any digital tool for client data collection.

Can it handle multi-page intake packets?

Yes. Documents with clear section headings - demographics, presenting concerns, history - produce forms with corresponding sections. Cleaner source documents give better results.

What if I need to update the form?

You own the form in Drive. Edit fields directly in Google Forms, duplicate it for different program types, or re-upload an updated template to generate a fresh version.

Does it cost anything?

The first form is free, no credit card required. Credit packs are available after that. The project is open source for practices that prefer to self-host.
